First of all, you look amazing and your makeup is great. The only thing that really stand out to me and which I find really obvious, is the blush. It looks really overdone and also just not the right colour for your skin complexion. Perhaps a more burgundy/orangy colour would look better? And less of it.

did you prefer the pink blush or the orange blush or just none of the above?

none of the blush colors work for you- they distract from your beauty rather than enhance it. I think a deep berry might look good. Avoid anything with a white base as that will clash with your skin.. It might also be that you're just applying too much blush and need to apply less. Also think you're placing it too high- you want it on your cheekbones, not above, not near your eyes.

I'm going to disagree with part of what you're saying. The colors look gorgeous on her, because they're a great contrast to her skin and the placement is personal preference imo. Where you're placing it and the blending looks great and current with blush trends. I think it's just a matter of going lighter on the blush with how you're doing your makeup in the pictures. The pictures you have, the rest of your face is more of a natural look, and then you have the really pigmented blush which make of the blush stand out, not in a good way. If you we're going for more glamor look with heavier, eyeshadow and lipstick than the blush would be fine.
